The worlds greatest disfunctional family reunion

" 'ey Santa Clause you cunt! Where's me fucking bike?! I've unwrapped all this other stuff and there's nothin that I like! I wrote you a fucking letter and I've been to see you twice. 'ey Santa Clause you cunt, where's me fucking bike?!" See this is what happens when parents and governments lie to kids. (They grow up to be comics and make money poking fun at their own horribly confused and tortured souls) Edited to add that the above little diddy is compliments of Kevin Bloody Wilson

Holy crap! What rumours? What hear say? What DZ? That's some serious reading between the lines there! And perhaps the reason he/she chose to post anonymously is so they wouldn't be linked to any DZ! But some other poster took good care of that I noticed. Why can't someone express their frustrations freely on here? I know lots of jumpers frustrated by the level of partying at many DZ's. (BTW I'm NOT one of them...unless I wasn't partying the night before and I can't get a load together by 9am...but why talk hypothetical?)

My Alberta plates THE URJ are hanging on my wall. I have SKYJUNKY on my convertable bug which can have a dual meaning because it is a convertable and I have JUMPRGAL on my big red truck. I also have SKYDORK hanging on my wall as well. I wanted IFLYME but someone in Ontario already has that. I kind of like personalized plates...

Where did you get the "not worthy" from? This guy is clearly not terribly bright, I don't care what kind of day he was having. He certainly is "worthy"...of some time in jail. Get him a room near the library....

Thanks everyone. Between what's on here and what Crazy Ivan PM'd me, I think I've got it sorted

Not really knowledgeable about the internet. I'm very careful with my work email to never open files etc. but it seems I have some kind of virus or something. I'm getting several emails a day saying things like "delivery error no reply" and it's to addresses that of course I haven't sent anything to. Is it a virus? or am I on a SPAM list of some sort? Is this removable? I have no doubt if I open the "file" to find out the "problem"as they suggest, all hell will break loose!

I don't live in BC. This did not affect me. Anyone touched by suicide is going to be very sensitive about this. I'm not going to get into a debate about whether suicide is an attention grabber or not. That's not my point. You're friend wanted to go. He left. He was going to go at some point anyway and in the grand scheme of things, life goes on and the sun still rises. Maybe he IS resting in peace. Why can't people accept the consequences of an individual's action upon themselves? They try to commit suicide: they die They rob a liquor store with a gun and get shot in the process: they die They shoot a little too much funky stuff into their arm to get an even better buzz that they've had all week: they die They throw their body out of a plane and plummet toward the very hard earth at 120 miles per hour knowing what could go wrong: they die They arrive early for work, looking forward to a fat paycheck because they worked so much overtime: they die... It happens every single day. These two people caused a tremendous amount of grief to a huge amount of people. Why are their tiny little lives worth that much? I don't think they are. No one is.

What is it about our culture that a single life is that important? People die every day. People kill themselves every day. Good hardworking people go to their jobs and die in work place accidents every single day. Why is one life so important? Why can't we let these people die? Why can't we let drug addicts die? Why can't we let convicted murderers on death row die? People die. We ALL will die! One (or two) people should not be able to gridlock a city because they are mentally unbalanced. Let them die. Some people were probably more than inconvenienced. Maybe someone didn't get to to hospital on time to be with their spouse as they died. Not all of those people were just going to work. If you add up all the frustration of all those people and all the money it cost, does it equal more than one life? There should be a formula. Like man-hours. Something takes 50 man hours which means 2 people 25 hrs each, 1 person 50 etc. If we add up all those people and all that time, does it equal one life? We deal with tragic death in our sport. Good people who don't mess with other people's lives die. It's sad. It's fucking devastating! But life goes on. Thieves go out and rob someone and get shot in the process and there is a huge uproar. Someone ALWAYS says,"I know what he did was wrong but he didn't deserve to die" Call it a hazard of their chosen profession! People die on construction sites, why shouldn't thieves be susceptible to the same risk! WE ALL DIE! What's wrong with the messed up ones going early? Who cares if they eventually get better? How much grief did they cause others first? They might die the day after they become fine upstanding citizens in hotel fire. Or they might live to kill a family of four in a car accident. I'm throwing a lot out there as I think this could be a hell of a discussion. I think these people should be made to pay some sort of restitution for what they've done.

That's Hourse to you Mister Grumpy Pants

For the record Bigway and Rhys, I'm Canadian. And the Jerry Springer set I'm referring to is only a part of the US and I don't personally know anyone like that.

Actually, this is not the thread of your dreams as it isn't really a bash America thread. And I feel sad for you that that is what your "dreams" are. I'm not sure if this is exactly on topic either but it almost seems like there are two completely different versions of the US. When I travel the many DZ's south of the boarder I see a mixture of great, odd, beautiful, funny-looking, sweet, wise, arrogant, naiive etc people that I see everywhere else in the world I go. You go to California, and you can spend whole days and not see an ounce of fat anywhere. And yes, there are a lot of great athletes. Then there's the "other" America. I call them the Jerry Springer set. Fat, ignorant, ugly and pathetic. America seems to be a place of extremes and both ends are scary. The obese and the thin, fake-boob,nails,lips,make-up people. And extremes is what makes news. Unfortunately. And I can't see how it will EVER be possible to get the Jerry Springer set to change OR stop growing. Maybe by throwing it into our faces it will light a fire under the ass of the normal people and at least they can do something about themselves and their family. This is good. An unfortunate side effect though, is America bashing. It's the extremists (and that includes your alarmingly large population of political, militant and religious fanatics) that are ruining your reputation. I don't know any Americans like that, but I've seen plenty of them. (( laughed at someone's earlier Walmart comment) And it seems like the population of that type of people is growing.

As a man, you don't know anything about colour so she's not really asking you.

NO! HE'S NOT!

Colour is the original spelling and the way Canadians still spell it. It's also cheque, favour, doughnuts, neighbour, etc. But you Americans have trouble with those silent letters so the teachers and powers that be have given up and are allowing the language to pauperize to the lowest common denominator.

I'm thinking that I wish I could type fast enough to write all the cool things I'm thinking right now

No, can't figure out that last one.

I'm fat. (Well, it's all relative) I thought it was funny. But then again, I've never been married. (Not that I've ever thought this was a bad thing)

It's hard for me to believe now, but last year, I actually saw myself letting it all slip way. I couldn't (wouldn't) admit I had lost interest but I had. What changed my mind? Again, can't explain it but I finally felt like I "bonded" with someone at my new DZ ( I had moved to Ontario from Alberta) What was the bonding experience? A drunken conversation that turned into a drunken argument that I had with a married skydiver (just to point out that there was nothing sexual about the night) until the sun came up. Suddenly something felt like "the good old days" and I was once again obsessed. Shortly after that a very close jumping friend who had been in the sport for over 20 years but had been off for a while due to an injury expressed the same feelings. She was getting out. I was sad, and I told her what happened to me but you can't really describe that feeling to anyone and when someone loses the passion, it's hard to justify the lifestyle.. Anyway, her first jump back after a year was this incredible demo jump and suddenly she was reinspired also. You never know what it might take, but it's got to come from the heart. If that night never happened to me, I might never have jumped again.....God, that's so hard to imagine now! Having come that close to quitting once, and seeing what I've done and who I've met since then....I think the only way I'll leave now is in a body bag. (Do they actually still have body bags?)

Yeah! And I've heard that after a night of hard core sex you can think you're fine and everything, then all of a sudden under canopy you get so terribly horny as you flashback to the night before that you lose focus and become a hazard to all the other people on the DZ because you might fly into them!

Get your stepmother (mother-in-law) to do it for you
